Honors PreCalculus

 

 

This is why units are important! šŸ™‚

Welcome to Honors PreCalculus!

Don’t let the name scare you. In this course we will pick up where Algebra 2 left off, but not without reviewing what you learned there. You will see all of the same functions with the addition of these functions: polynomial, piece-wise, step, more rational, and trigonometry! Trigonometry goes way beyond SOH CAH TOA. In fact, we will spend an entire semester learning about Trigonometry.

In addition to posting the notes on the link below, if you are absent this year (2021-2022) I will be posting videos of our lessons on google classroom as they are available. Check your school email for any notifications from google classroom. PreCal is like a small town, if you blink while going through, you will get lost. This is my attempt at helping you not to get lost when you blink.

If you know you are going to be out for extracurricular activities, please get your work before you leave.

When you are absent, then # of days out = # of days allowed to return work.

Please understand that posting the lessons on google classroom is a courtesy. You could also “phone/text a friend” for a picture of their notes.
